Just reel an Arbogast Jitterbug in and let it wag back and forth with a deep, gurgling rhythm that bass can't ignore. The bigger lunkers often follow the Jitterbug for half a retrieve until they can't resist it anymore and attack. The Jointed Jitterbug's tail packs extra shimmy.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by FishingNewEngland Great night bite bait!
I use these on my night bass trips. A good rip and a pause is all it takes! The bass can't resist. My biggest to date is a 5.5lb on the all black jointed. Add a glow dot or two to the belly in the early Spring if they're not hitting at night.

I like the action but found that the non jointed version caught many more fish. Id recommend the other version.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by krak must have in the tackle box!
i use this lure any time i fish small ponds and also in some rivers. i like the jointed action and i feel like it hangs down a little more in the water than the original. i like to fish it at night as well.. i get more bites when i hold my rod up high so the line stays out of the water. doesnt always work but it is good to have in the box!!

Rated 5 out of 5 Black Jointed Arbogast Jitterbug
I saw somewhere on the internet of someone claiming this was the best Bass lure ever. I can concur that for sure it's in the top 5 of the best I have ever used. Missed one bass so big it broke my line. The next day I ordered another black Jitterbug. Gotta have one in my tackle box!

I am thinking about buying one and I have some new treble hooks that I want to put on mine. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

The hooks are attached using tiny screws. I've replaced the strap with an eye screw and split ring before. It worked well until a giant pickerel destroyed the bait.

Use an eyeglass screw driver and take the rear screw out. Gently pull down the lip, slide the existing hooks over the lip and replace with those of your choice. Replace the screw, do not over tighten, keep it snug. Your ready to go.A:Â
You can cut them off with diagonal cutting pliers and put a split ring on the hook hanger before adding the hook. Or remove one both of the screws holding the hook hanger. I'd put super glue in the screw holes before driving the screws back in.Or get rid of the hangers and add screw eyes and split rings.
For the rear hook on the Jointed model, I'd cut it off and attach a split ring for the new hook.

I always replace the hooks before I fish this bait. I use a bench grinder to remove the front hook and then replace the hook with a small split ring. I do the same on the back as well.Images for this Answer

well it depends which one you want to replace. one of my hooks got beaten up after getting soo much action. anyways, the back one where the joint is, the ring holding the hook can be bent with pliars. if its the one on the bottom, you need to unscrew the little plate holding the hook on. i put nice trebble hooks on which made me set the hook faster, easier, and he will not get awayImages for this Answer
